    I don't think gerrymandering is good. I think its impact is overstated, and I don't trust courts to do it better.https://twitter.com/GentleLabourer/status/1144254412845699073 …

    I do not get how you can defend gerrymandering. It goes against everything democracy stands for. Only those who benefit from it can defend it, I guess.

        there is no decent argument against algorithmic, rules based, district-drawing.

        Does anyone do that? Seems those that care so much should make that happen and show others the benefit.

        And I don't trust fancy words for bureaucratic control like "compactness" which always seem to end up functioning as Democrat gerrymanders.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        Gerrymandering is always going to occur, unfortunately. It's pernicious, but whenever money and power are decided by decisions, those decisions are always going to be partisan. The only question is if voters get to decide who does the gerrymandering.

        @Redistrict has a fantastic resource on 538 (https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-maps/#Compact …). For me, the most fair redistricting option is to try to minimize the number of cuts into cities / counties. As it turns out, that would yield roughly the same # of party safe seats as the current model.

        It’s not overstated in NC. I don’t like the courts doing it, either, but what other recourse is there when a majority vote is represented by 23% of the districts?

        Gerrymandering is gross, but a lot of the Dem reaction to the Court's ruling stems from Dem inability and unwillingness to compete for rural voters.

        If you actually believe gerrymandering's impact is overstated (and I strongly doubt that you actually believe that), then you're terrible at basic arithmetic and too stupid to be taken seriously by anyone other than @NRO.https://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1144274405507420162 …

        In state after state, GOP getting minority of votes but huge majority of seats. This is fundamentally undemocratic. Extreme partisan gerrymandering is election rigging & SCOTUS just gave it a huge green light https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/06/the-supreme-courts-gerrymandering-ruling-is-a-doomsday-scenario-for-voting-rights/ … pic.twitter.com/iqU6cEmjaf
